    American Juniors

    I think Chantelle will make it, she just has to put on a another good performance since most of the callers probably have long term memory problems. Danielle has an interesting voice but not the look for a group. I pray they don't pick AJ, either Chantelle or as a second maybe Katelyn because...

    American Juniors

    Lucy deserves to be in that band. She'll turn into the next "Can't wait til she turns 18 girl". I thought Chantelle had a lot of sex appeal in her rendition of 'Brass In Pocket' too. Just please don't put A.J. in the group even though I'll never buy their albums anyway, I just can't stand that kid.

    Paradise Hotel......

    This show is addictive b/c you grow to hate the whiny cliche so much. It's like highschool all over again. That new guy definitely had some balls and I applaud him. Now just boot Toni, then Zack's girl, and things should settle down. I like Charla, Tara, Dave, and now the new guy.

    ***Official Survivor: Amazon Discussion Thread***

    Rob did make a good move. He can persuade both sides and that will work for him. He will lose if he aligns himself with Matt, Christy, and the old guy; but I don't think that's his intentions. He needs to get it down to Him, either Heidi or Jenna, and probably Christy. The reasoning behind that...

    Academy Award Winner..............Eminem

    I like the song and as expected I went to see the movie to see the song be performed in '8 mile'. It wasn't.:angry: It was tacked on in the credits. I realize that some songs are tacked on in the credits, but does this mean that if you have a great song and you want to win an Oscar, all you have...

    my first taste of the HD NCAA tourney

    The only HD games we got in Louisville were the games in Birmingham. Still I enjoyed them. Although for some reason, I'm not that impressed with CBS HD. I like ABC's HD better and liked the Super Bowl better than the NCAA HD. Granted it was much better and so clean but in action shots and when...

    Getting lost on _Mulholland Dr._

    I love just skipping to Rebecca Del Rio in CLub Silencio when I want to turn my HT up. It's beautiful, moving, mysterious, and down-right scary. It sends chills up my back and no movie scene has ever done that to me. I love the script writing during the cowboy scene. He delivers it perfectly...

    Widescreen Owners....What viewing mode do you watch 4:3 content?

    Panasonic has a 'JUST' stretch mode that isn't bad except for car commercials. I don't notice it.

    Ascend, NHT, JBL, Fluance HELP!

    The speakers will be used 70% movies and HD programming and 30% SACD music. I live in an apartment so I don't crank up that loud probably about 70-90db (I need to get out my sound meter to figure that out). Right now I have two towers in the front with no sub and they do good with bass but I...

    Ascend, NHT, JBL, Fluance HELP!

    I've been looking at upgrading my HT speakers. I've been leaning toward the Ascend CBM-170's for front, center, and three surrounds (6.1) and the Hsu VTF-2. But then their are all these other names that I seee popping up. I'm looking at about $1,000-1,500 for everything. Am I making the...

    Who's watching the Super Bowl in HDTV?

    The clock was cut off just slightly here in Louisville. About a 1/3 of the clock was off the screen. You could still tell the time though. I also noticed when they went to SD 4:3 there were pixels and trails when people moved. I have a feeling this had something to do with the way they were...

    The "ABC's Superbowl broadcast problems" thread

    I was doing split screen since the regular broadcast was showing some closeup replays while HD wasn't. The HD feed was delayed a second or two from the regular feed. When they cut to regular feed on the HD channel, Madden was off but I think they fixed it by having a HD camera showing Madden...

    RP82's for $345!?

    Man I should have bought extra RP82's when I had a chance. Luckily I bought one from onecall for $220 back in November. Even though I could sell it for twice as much on ebay, I wouldn't because there really isn't another player that could replace it.

    NYPD Blue (11/13/02) Who set him up?....

    I have never watched this show but about 2 weeks ago I got a HDTV tuner and ABC is the only station right now airing HD programs, so needless to say I watch every HD program based on the fact that it looks so good. So I caught the last two episodes of NYPD Blue these past two weeks and now I'm...

    Mark's Survivor: Amazon - HTF Challenge

    I'll pick Jeanne Herbert. She's a mother, not intimidating, older and wiser, and she doesn't seem so dominant. The pretty ones always lose, the young ones are usually too cockey, and anyone who is smart and a business leader and older seem to offend the rest. I was going to pick Roger but...

    HD OTA Signal Strength Question

    It's all or nothing. There is no better or worse. There is however dropouts on weak signals which result in a frezing or pixellating of the image and loss of digital sound for however long the signal comes back. As far as the content looking good or bad, most stuff on the digital channels...

    Pax TV in Digital?

    The PAX Digital Channel in Lousville is transmitting SD. As far as the ugly, burning PAX logo goes, PAX does allow you to zoom so the logo is off the screen. Of course the programming isn't good, so I don't watch it but they at least give you the option of zooming the logo off the...

    HDTV movies on ABC

    I just got my STB yesterday and 'Any Given Sunday' was my first viewing of HD. I was blown away by the detail and the 5.1 sound rocked. I do have one question. What is the source material for the movies on ABC? It looked a lot better than DVD. Do they upconvert or do they have HD tapes of...

    How do I get cable TV in surround mode?

    Dolby Pro Logic 2 is what I use for regular TV and cable. It works great for me especially sports where the crowd comes in the rears and laugh tracks on tv shows where the laughing comes in the rears.

    cable risers..do they work?

    A coworker of mine bought the ceramic insulators from the old days for electrical wiring. They sell the same kind on one of the audiophile sites for a ridiculous amount but they are the same mold that he bought off ebay. He says that he can tell a difference. I like the chopstick holder idea...

    color and tint changes from different channels

    Thankfully my Panny has three settings. I have cinema mode calibrated to my DVD player and I have normal set to the color of the cinema settings but I set the brightness and contrast a little different. If the color is bad I just tweak it in the normal mode. I'm sure most of your tv's have...

    Panny 53wx42 - Narrow Viewing Angle

    I'd have the service people mess with the screen. My Panny 47wx42 is in the shop for the screen to be cleaned. It had a few marks on one of the internal screens. The tech guy came out and took the back off and tried to remove the marks but they aren't on the back screen or front screen, rather...

    Not lying to my kids about Santa Claus....

    Next thing you're going to be saying is that there is no boogy man. My sisters and I always snooped around the house looking for presents and to debunk the myth. We found Santa's presents one time but we held on to the belief so we could get double the presents every year. I just hated...

    Wiring 2 rear speakers - Denon 1803

    Move your couch away from the wall. That would be my first suggestion. Other wise maybe if the rears were above you firing down to the back of the couch? I don't know. I'm guessing your right and left surround are to the sides of your couch firing toward the couch? As far as the back surrounds...

    Avia

    I hated S&V. It took too long to get to the test patterns. I like the menu system on Avia much better and with all 3 filters, I can calibrate my tv even better. With only one filter, I was calibrating to one color and the other colors would be off. With Avia I can get them all perfect but I can...

    speakers caused discoloration on tv...

    I use to have a direct view RCA and the speakers would cause the discolorations. Even my center channel that was shielded would cause problems. I noticed that when you moved the speakers, the discoloration would go away pretty quick if not instantaneously. So if it sticks around then the...

    Just got a Denon 1803

    Multi I would guess means multi zone which means somewhere in the setup you told it had two separate speakers in another room using the backsurround inputs. This won't mess anything up unless you decide to use a speaker or two for back surround (6.1). It's probably a quick fix in the manual or...

    Just got a Denon 1803

    I secretly saying to myself "I knew I was right. I knew I was right." as probably are most of us. It's always the little details that confuse us and make us say hateful words towards our new purchases. :D

    Just got a Denon 1803

    How are you sending the digital signal from your dvd player? It could be a faulty cable or check your dvd player menu and make sure it is sending a dts and dd signal. I thought my 1803 wasn't recognizing a dts signal until I went into the dvd player menu and realized I hadn't enabled dts to be...

    Help hooking up new CP72!! (please)

    I think we need to know exactly what inputs / outputs are on the back of your tv. Also do you have a vcr? You can usually run your cable tv coax to you vcr and send the vcr video to the tv via whatever you have in the back of your tv. You could send the audio of your dvd and your vcr to your two...
